If you’re interested in the health and welfare
of dogs, cats, horses and other creatures, and
if you want to gain a scientific understanding
of animal care, this course is for you. You’ll
learn about animal physiology, pharmacology, behavioral
issues and more. We’ll teach you how to
assist in emergency care and physical exams, perform
lab tests, prevent and treat common diseases and
disorders, administer medications, nurse orphaned
and wild animals and more.

More than 50-million
U.S. households own one or more companion animals.
The increasing affluence of pet owners and their
willingness to pay for advanced care will raise
demand for trained veterinary specialists. As
such, employment in this field is expected to
grow much faster than average through 2012.
